Actu Foot reported that Ali Zarrak, former assistant to Medhi Benatia and head of the OM reserve team, contested the accusations of moral harassment made by Jean-Pierre Papin, former coach of the reserve team. In remarks relayed by L’Équipe, he claimed that an investigation had reached conclusions that, in his view, excluded any harassment on his part. Zarrak said he was surprised that Papin brought up this matter again and felt it was necessary to correct what he considered to be false statements. He also accused Papin of having taken liberties and said he was called a "policeman" during a meeting. According to Zarrak, the OM management had been informed of the situation, but nothing changed afterward. He added that the club did not want to part ways with Papin to avoid harming him and believed that the outcome would have been different if the former Ballon d'Or had not been involved. He finally judged his coaching career level very harshly. #OM #JeanPierrePapin #Football (translated)

A chase ensued, and several shots were fired. The vehicles of Moumbagna and Onana were hit by bullets, some of which penetrated the bodywork. Actu Foot added that Meïté, traumatized, left his home in Marseille with his partner and baby to head to Paris, and that he had considered leaving OM.

Medhi Benatia said he was very saddened by the situation of Cristiano Ronaldo, his former teammate, whom he knew was very attached to the national team and to Portugal. He believed that Ronaldo felt capable of contributing a lot, while questioning his physical condition and mentioning the fact that he no longer had the legs of a 20-year-old. Benatia also said he understood that there had been lies and betrayals with the coach. Without claiming to have information, he wondered if the coach had taken advantage of his relationship with "Cris" at Al Nassr to coach Portugal. He added that a player of that caliber could not end up like this and doubted that Portugal would see another player of that caliber. He was speaking on Canal+ Foot. https://t.co/D5Kp0OLO8A #Ronaldo #Football #ÉquipeNationale (translated)

🚨🚨 « UNE GOUVERNANCE QUI A FAIT N’IMPORTE QUOI MAIS S’AUTORISE À DONNER DES AVIS ÉCLAIRÉS. » 🥶 La PIQUE à peine voilée de Vincent Duluc à Medhi Benatia dans un bon français 🎙️👇 « Ce n’est pas hier soir que l’OM a perdu le Classique et qu’il a glissé vers la 17e place : c’est la saison dernière, et celles d’avant… Sous une gouvernance qui a fait n’importe quoi mais s’autorise à donner des avis éclairés SUR UNE SITUATION DONT ELLE EST RESPONSABLE. L’héritage de ces vendeurs d’espoir et de vent, qui avaient surtout acheté n’importe qui, est là, ce matin : l’OM est 17e et il IL N’Y A PAS BESOIN D’EXPLIQUER LES CHOSES À SES SUPPORTERS. » Je ne souhaite pas à mon pire ennemi de se voir consacrer un édito piquant de Vincent Duluc dans @lequipe. ☠️ #OM #football #VincentDuluc

🚨 Mathieu Grégoire, grand reporter de @lequipe basé sur Marseille, sur Medhi Benatia 🇲🇦 : « C’est quelque chose que je dirai à Medhi Benatia quand je le verrai… Moi je trouve BIZARRE qu’un directeur sportif qui était encore en poste dans un club il y a moins de trois mois… AILLE COMMENTER UN MATCH OU JUGER DES PERFORMANCES DE JOUEURS QU’IL A LUI-MÊME RECRUTÉ dans un contexte qui a été très compliqué à la fin. 🤨 ÇA FAIT UN PEU CONFLIT D’INTÉRÊT. J’aurais mis un peu + de distance par rapport à l’OM… Fais plutôt le match de Lyon ! Là, il te parle d’un match DONT IL EST UN PEU RESPONSABLE. » 🎥 @FCMarseille https://t.co/YcoMl9hc5x #OM #Marseille #Football

🚨 Medhi BENATIA 🇲🇦 sur les dernières déclarations d’Amir MURILLO 🇵🇦 👇 : « Il est FACILE MAINTENANT DE PARLER COMME ÇA après que tout le monde a fait son chemin. Je l’ai connu à Anderlecht, il ne jouait pas beaucoup. Il a passé des matchs très difficiles, des matchs compliqués la saison dernière en perdant la confiance de coéquipiers même… (…) IL FAISAIT PRESSION À LA DIRECTION POUR PROLONGER et il y a eu après un relâchement, puis le coach est passé à autre chose... (…) Ça reste un super gars, un vrai bon mec qui n’a jamais arrêté de travailler ! 💪 » 🎙️ @CanalplusFoot https://t.co/kmRpTqyKY8 #Football #Sport #Déclarations

🚨 Pierre Ménès 🇫🇷 DÉTRUIT la venue de Medhi Benatia 🇲🇦 comme consultant Canal+ 🥶 : « Est-ce qu’il se sent légitime, après avoir PLANTÉ l’OM dans tous les sens, de se retrouver sur un plateau télé ? JE SUIS BIEN PERSUADÉ QUE BENATIA TROUVE QU’IL N’A AUCUNE RESPONSABILITÉ DANS CE QU’IL S’EST PASSÉ À L’OM. Donc évidemment, ça doit l’aider. » 🎙️ YouTube #Sport #Football #CanalPlus

🚨 Maxime Chanot : « Si Genesio repart à la manière de De Zerbi et qu’il ÉCLATE EN L’AIR À CHAQUE FOIS QUE ÇA NE LUI VA PAS, ET BEN COURAGE À L’OM. 😳  MARSEILLE C’EST LE MUPPET SHOW. 🥶 On pensait qu’avec les 3 copains, MCCOURT, BENATIA, LONGORIA, ON AVAIT ATTEINT LE SUMMUM… et finalement, GENESIO TIRE À BOULETS ROUGES SUR SA DIRECTION. Alors que Lorenzi et Genesio sont deux personnages qui étaient censés redonner un peu de dynamisme à ce club… 😩 » 🎙️ @AfterRMC #OM #Marseille #Football
